[GLTFDocument] extension class.
</brief_description>
<description>
Extends the functionality of the [GLTFDocument] class by allowing you to run arbitrary code at various stages of glTF import or export.
To use, make a new class extending GLTFDocumentExtension, override any methods you need, make an instance of your class, and register it using [method GLTFDocument.register_gltf_document_extension].
[b]Note:[/b] Like GLTFDocument itself, all GLTFDocumentExtension classes must be stateless in order to function properly. If you need to store data, use the [code]set_additional_data[/code] and [code]get_additional_data[/code] methods in [GLTFState] or [GLTFNode].

<description>
Part of the export process. This method is run after [method _export_preflight] and before [method _export_post_convert].
Runs when converting the data from a Godot scene node. This method can be used to process the Godot scene node data into a format that can be used by [method _export_node].

<param index="2" name="json" type="Dictionary" />
<param index="3" name="node" type="Node" />
<description>
Part of the export process. This method is run after [method _get_saveable_image_formats] and before [method _export_post]. If this [GLTFDocumentExtension] is used for exporting images, this runs after [method _serialize_texture_json].
This method can be used to modify the final JSON of each node. Data should be primarily stored in [param gltf_node] prior to serializing the JSON, but the original Godot [param node] is also provided if available. The node may be null if not available, such as when exporting glTF data not generated from a Godot scene.

<param index="0" name="state" type="GLTFState" />
<description>
Part of the export process. This method is run last, after all other parts of the export process.
This method can be used to modify the final JSON of the generated glTF file.

<method name="_export_post_convert" qualifiers="virtual">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="state" type="GLTFState" />
<param index="1" name="root" type="Node" />
<description>
Part of the export process. This method is run after [method _convert_scene_node] and before [method _export_preserialize].
This method can be used to modify the converted node data structures before serialization with any additional data from the scene tree.
</description>
</method>
<method name="_export_preflight" qualifiers="virtual">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="state" type="GLTFState" />
<param index="1" name="root" type="Node" />
<description>
Part of the export process. This method is run first, before all other parts of the export process.
The return value is used to determine if this [GLTFDocumentExtension] instance should be used for exporting a given glTF file. If [constant OK], the export will use this [GLTFDocumentExtension] instance. If not overridden, [constant OK] is returned.
</description>
</method>
<method name="_export_preserialize" qualifiers="virtual">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="state" type="GLTFState" />
<description>
Part of the export process. This method is run after [method _export_post_convert] and before [method _get_saveable_image_formats].
This method can be used to alter the state before performing serialization. It runs every time when generating a buffer with [method GLTFDocument.generate_buffer] or writing to the file system with [method GLTFDocument.write_to_filesystem].

<param index="2" name="scene_parent" type="Node" />
<description>
Part of the import process. This method is run after [method _import_pre_generate] and before [method _import_node].
Runs when generating a Godot scene node from a GLTFNode. The returned node will be added to the scene tree. Multiple nodes can be generated in this step if they are added as a child of the returned node.
[b]Note:[/b] The [param scene_parent] parameter may be null if this is the single root node.

</method>
<method name="_get_image_file_extension" qualifiers="virtual">
<return type="String" />
<description>
Returns the file extension to use for saving image data into, for example, [code]".png"[/code]. If defined, when this extension is used to handle images, and the images are saved to a separate file, the image bytes will be copied to a file with this extension. If this is set, there should be a [ResourceImporter] class able to import the file. If not defined or empty, Godot will save the image into a PNG file.
</description>
</method>
<method name="_get_saveable_image_formats" qualifiers="virtual">
<return type="PackedStringArray" />
<description>
Part of the export process. This method is run after [method _convert_scene_node] and before [method _export_node].
Returns an array of the image formats that can be saved/exported by this extension. This extension will only be selected as the image exporter if the [GLTFDocument]'s [member GLTFDocument.image_format] is in this array. If this [GLTFDocumentExtension] is selected as the image exporter, one of the [method _save_image_at_path] or [method _serialize_image_to_bytes] methods will run next, otherwise [method _export_node] will run next. If the format name contains [code]"Lossy"[/code], the lossy quality slider will be displayed.

<description>
Part of the export process. This method is run after [method _get_saveable_image_formats] and before [method _serialize_texture_json].
This method is run when embedding images in the glTF file. When images are saved separately, [method _save_image_at_path] runs instead. Note that these methods only run when this [GLTFDocumentExtension] is selected as the image exporter.
This method must set the image MIME type in the [param image_dict] with the [code]"mimeType"[/code] key. For example, for a PNG image, it would be set to [code]"image/png"[/code]. The return value must be a [PackedByteArray] containing the image data.
